Elated*Mie : Ameda at $300+ and its quite good. I used it for my #1. It works perfectly fine through my 14 mths of breastfeeding. And i used it heavily because i breastfeed through exclusively pumping. Its good and reliable enough.
happy hippo : Maybe you can consider. Freestyle is much more compact than PIS. I was thinking if i need to bring pump to and fro my mum's place, its more convenent.
pupsandcups : I just cried yesterday. I felt that these 2 weeks, my Glynnis has been very naughty. MIL kept saying its normal for #1 to be more naughty when we are pregnant, but i was very upset that she misbehaved.
But anyway, we need to stay positive and i believe the difficult time will pass. You have us to gove you moral support... Take care...

hi all mtb,
I have just done my confinement this year and would like to recommend the confinement wine that i used during my confinement. I have tried several wine done by different people and i find the one that my friend's mum did was very good.
So if you are interested in getting confinement wine, do let me know and i will help you take order from her. Do PM me if you are interested.
cheers!

pups, glad to hear tat u r feeling better. i hv been eating sushi but nt the raw sashimi cos my hub says may hv bacteria so its nt advisable to eat.
i was very upset last night and cried uncontrollably due to work stress furthermore my hub was working nite and I am all alone in my bedroom. Thank God that my fearful meeting this morning turned out good nt as fearful as what I tot it would be.

pups>> i had 3 slices of salmon sashimi at a jap restuarant which i am pretty sure their sashimi is fresh.. and i felt really happy after that.. was going thru a very rough patch at work and at home that time, if it will make you feel better, i tink is ok to take in small quantities..
if you are considering gg sakae, i tink you shouldnt take their sashimi.. coz i feel sakae standards dropped a lot and i doubt they have very fresh sashimi.. just my 2 cents worth la..
anyway do you think those japanese women will stop eating sashimi when they are preggy? i doubt so.. haha

jeanette >> welcome, i didn't know the BB's gender till the 18th week and on top of that, it was only 80% confirmed. however, i managed to know the gender, with gynae's surety now, two days ago in my 20th week...so don't worry ok? sometimes the baby is just shy...esp girls..it's harder to spot.
for tests, i didn't go for oscar but i had the usual - blood sugar, immunity agst various infectious diseases etc..and also a planned detailed scan in my 21st/22nd week. this is something i think u need to book cos it can only take place b4 the 22nd week.

dreamygal, pups >> where did you purchase your ameda pumps? the more i read abt it, the more i seem to like it...
pups >> my jap clients who live in japan eat sushi, sashimi everyday..cos they know for certain it's super fresh. i think u need to goto a reputable plc here. agree sakae is out. waraku at times is also questionable though i love it in normal times (they get too much pp and the yellowtail i had when i was not pregnant was "off")...erm..if i may venture, why don't u try wahiro at katong mall? the boss there is a japanese and so far, all their sashimi is solid. fresh shipments on tues, thurs and sat. enjoy and it's just two more days to the weekend!

pups: glad that u feel better today.. hehe.. i was frustrated this morning. i think stress ah.. so we got ot keep ourselves high in spirits!
sashimi>>> pls dun go sakae. i agree with mie.. not fresh. not even their cooked tuna is like considered fresh to me. and in the radio commercials sakae said they try to make their food healthier by adding vitamin E?? so is that healthy or fresh or additive or what. haha. i've lots of doubts abt it. its better to get those sashimi from jap supermarts. i think carrefour or cold storage ones maybe fresher...

xoxolight>> i purchased directly from the retailser, gotta go some dam far away place. let me try to recall the name and get back to you, have to check at home.
yap if you read online reviews, n there r heaps comparing Ameda with Medela, they say Ameda is more gentle. it is cheaper too.
in the end i didnt buy sashimi as the one near my office (Which is near lau pa sat) all kinda dodgy. i think i will go .. where in the west got good yet affordable ah?

pupsandcups : I always cry... Haa... Now even worse... I'm ok. I feel better after tears come rolling down... But i'm glad that i have my girl. She always console me.
xoxolight : I bought mine at Robinson. Its actually very last minute purchase. I initially got a medela mini electric passed to me by a friend. One fine day, half way through the pumping session, it broke down. I was so panicky and called my hubby. That very night, we rushed down to robinson to get one.

jeanette: my colleague had her detailed scan at five months, and still couldn't tell the gender coz the baby refused to open the legs. I think she probably has to wait until 6 months, so don't despair if you don't know.
Seems like many of the distributors are at Tagore Lane. Must plan my trip first.

pups >> thanks babe. that'd be helpful. i honestly didn't know abt ameda till both of you mentioned it. which version of ameda are you using? have you tried sakuraya at anchorpoint or village ctr in buona vista? i visit the one at parkway parade..but do take a guinea pig first to test it out nonetheless ok?? must be extra careful! but i think the sakuraya brand is not too bad. near yr office..have you tried hokkaido sushi at M hotel? i think it's fabulous..their grilled sanma is great and pp just go there for sashimi, sushi and nothing else.
grin, and i was just reading a book when it mentioned "pre-baby jitters"..this feeling of various fears and unsettling thoughts with regards to the impending arrival of baby...that sounds so much like all of us isn't it?

I ask them which is the spici-est and confidently told them i can take it. wah..shiok. the meat was tender (no vein) and curry is super. v v spicy
Re" Breast Pump

I m so excited.

glad that the results are ok. dun wori too much. sometimes the bb is pressing onto our bladder and we might not even know tat we pee (erm more of "such incident" will happen when our tummy getting bigger). nevertheless, the test result shows tat it doesnt contain amniotic fluid or infection! tt's the best re-assurance u can get. as for wat is the water? erm.. leave it behind liao n move forward!

mylvera>> just monday only, i was having dinner with a rather full bladder.. suddenly i went "woooo" my pee nearly came out.. apparently is my baby jumping onto my bladder or giving my bladder a sudden hard kick.. and this happened a few times, making me go "wooo" throughout the dinner and my hubby was laughing non-stop at me lo... i just hope one fine day the pee wun really flow out like that!

jeanette : You can start telling your baby to remember to open legs wide wide...
gal^ : I did. I signed up FBI and now 2 years later SBI. FBI can get you discount for the prenatal course, the oscar & detailed scan, discount for rooms. So the discount is more than the price of the card, so i signed.
These 2 days i suddenly started to feel hungry very very often...

ipheh : Ya. Can get discount. Actually you just need to sign up at the counter. When you go up for the scan, they can give you the discount when you present your receipt.
But you never took up the oscar + detailed scan package? I took out that package and paid everything together when i did my oscar.
Jazol : I scared i will put on too much weight leh. My #1 i put on 17kg. Luckily breastfeeding helped me shed off most of the weight.
I hope this one i can put on less than 10kg.
FBI is the first born incentive card from Thomson medical.

FBI is the first born incentive card from Thomson medical.
Breast Pumps: I sufferred from major block ducts when attempting to breastfeed my #1 last time. I was using a hand-me-down Ameda at that time. The (rather famous) lactation consultant sorting my block ducts problem out then told me that some pp experience block ducts with Ameda and told me Medela is better. I got me a Medela PIS on the spot. (On hindsight the Lac Consultant was selling the PIS pump lah so she could be potentially bias lah...*tssk tssk tssk*).
My block ducts problem eased up eventually but not after recurring a zealion times even with the new $700 pump! *Ouch!* (squeals my hubby) So I really dunno if its the pump that was the problem in the 1st place or not. But one thing's for sure, the breastshield for the PIS pump is made of soft plastic (while the Ameda and most other pumps use the hard type) which I felt helped a lot with my pumping.. could well've improved my block ducts problem. But 1 warning though, the soft breastshields don't last and are expensive and troublesome to replace. They were ALWAYS out of stock (even with the main distributors) and I had to trouble friends to buy from the States and send over.

kkbt,
yah... hehe... u remember ah? i'm shaking leg, waiting to pick up HB then have dinner, head to airport already!!!
re: sashimi
here's my 2 cents. if even my gynae who has a pretty cool heck care attitude told me NOT to eat raw food, there must be a pretty good reason. i miss sashimi too. but if you're unlucky enough to get food poisoning from the bacteria from unfresh raw fish, you guys know what the consequences are. so is it really worth it? places like sakae and waraku are definitely out of the question. even up market places that fly in direct from tokyo tsukiji fish market does not GUARANTEE you fresh, bacteria-free fish. so enough said. proceed with caution. i'll put up with not having it. afterall we're almost halfway through by now. not worth the gamble just to satisfy our craving.
